NATO's first: Denmark will buy Ukrainian weapons for the Armed Forces - the Defense Ministry
"This is a big step because Denmark has become the first foreign country of NATO to invest in weapons production in Ukraine. This is a confirmation that the Ukrainian defense industry is ready for cooperation at the international level and is able to meet the highest standards," said the Ministry of Defense. According to him, the first weapons purchase contract is already in the final stage of preparation, and its signing is expected in the near future.
Denmark has already expressed its support for the project by investing $ 28. 5 million. "So far, this is the basic mechanism, it already has a result. In public some countries have already given the obligations, and now they have joined other countries. It will just be possible, we want to give countries to understand that they will invest, but mechanisms and procedure We offered it for us.
The Minister also noted that his Danish colleague Troyels Lund Polsen personally visited Ukrainian defense enterprises, assessing their potential and opportunities. Parliamentarians and Denmark's Defense Minister have demonstrated samples of Ukrainian weapons that can be purchased under the framework of military assistance to Ukraine - among them, for example, the Bogdan SAU.
